Creative Dissatisfaction

Different persons and socities can have their own interpretations. Readers can have their own interpretation. In both the interpretation the term becomes static. A common problem with teleological approach, a goal based approach. If you fix the goal initially the entire charm of historicity gets losts. Creative dissatisfaction is dialectics between positive sense of creativity and negative sense of dissatisfaction. It is not about synthesis but continuous evolution through the ever present tension between the two.

One synthesis metamorphosed into another set of tensions and hence another synthesis. The positive thing about the term is that it maintains vitality and life in you to proceed ahead or ponder why you were pushed back. If you moved ahead you think why you moved in this direction only or why did you move in certain quantity only.

Same analysis goes on when you are moving backwards. Satisfaction is a self-pleasing prophecy.

It may entertain you to remain static. It will inhibit the process of evolution. To grow and to move there must be a catalyst called dissatisfaction in life. However, only dissatisfaction can make ones life hell. How can one love life when there is only pain and agony in life? Total dissatisfaction is destruction. To overcome dissatisfaction one can take any route to bypass the event called life.

The seed of creativity lies in the sense of dissatisfaction. Creativity is not unidimensional.

It has gained us the most above all other such. AS tool users we are sublime. This is our strength welded to reason. And why we are so ahead in tech and so retarded in social skills. The bow and arrow. Well, sadly that's the same as here in the UK as this series, something that would be perfect for television, is only appearing on radio.

Don't get me wrong, I love radio, and radio 4 especially and I'm sure they'll do a marvellous job, but a series that looks at objects would make more sense if it were on TV and we could actually look at the objects. But that's not going to happen these days, when anything involving culture or art is a dirty word at the BBC, and all shows must conotain an element of interactivity.

This does indeed sound awesome None of the shows exist. So how am I supposed to remember to look for this when it comes out and by that I mean either "is complete, so I can download the entire thing" OR "is an RSS feed". I've actually been thinking about this recently. The similarities of monuments around the world, for instance, or the types of tools. When either in history or at what age do humans first get the idea to use one tool to make another?

Yeah I thought of posting this but also thought to wait until the first episode was up. It is odd that it is Radio instead of TV. But for Londoners at least this is a good way to learn more about some of the fascinating objects at the BM and then actually go see them! There's so much to see there and sometimes its hard to make sense of it. For example, right now they are showing several objects from the Staffordshire hoard, which mefites went ga-ga over when it was posted about here.

Humankind's great achievement is not creating tools, but using tools to create 2nd generation, better tools. I loved the book series The Cave Children by A.

Sonnleitner because it explores exactly that idea: The books then follow their survival, in which, over the course of many years, they kinda sorta recapitulate the progress of man from stone age to bronze age to almost medieval technology. All with very detailed descriptions of how they, for instance, collect ore, create charcoal from wood, build a primitive smelting furnace and cast bronze to make knives. The author also tries to come with reasonable explanations as to how one could get inspired to try out new things and make the leap from using, say, a spear to using bow and arrows.

It's not always very realistic, but I loved the sense of continuity the series had - there was always this idea of re-using old equipment and improving on it with new ideas and materials, making it better suited for a task. The book also gave me a new appreciation for the society we live in: It's weird to me, this impulse many people seem to have to draw sharp distinctions between humans and other animals.

As they invariably get pointed out to be wrong, does that suddenly mean the animals who are "like us" are suddenly promoted to human status? Of course not, because it was just some thing to say. Anyway, the retreat is always to ever more specific distinctions.

Used to be "using tools", then "making tools", now I guess "making tools for use in tool-making". If I had to bet, I'd bet that sometime soon we'll have an example of a non-human animal doing that. Maybe there already is one, I don't know. Anyway, in addition to possibly being not specific enough, it's also already too specific.

By this standard, there's nothing separating most people from the rest of the animals, since most people don't really do much tool-making or meta-tool-making, and certainly not tool-inventing. We buy all our shit now. This year's laptops are better than last year's, but this is a very recent phenomena, that a small fraction of people are responsible for. For most of human history, humans had a set of tools that they learned how to make from their family and neighbors, and those tools didn't change much because they were right for the job. So I don't think extreme constant innovation is really a defining feature of humanity.

I think the truth is there is no sharp distinction, as you would expect given our shared evolutionary history and shared environmental pressures. Humans are different only in degree. We use more tools, more complicated tools, and have a more complicated language. This series sounds awesome. In fact, just last night I was just going to post an AskMe looking for books like this.

Have to look for it. It's true that many try to do this because they are thinking humans aren't animals. But even if you accept that we are there still remains something to be explained. Why have we taken over the planet so effectively and in such relatively complete cooperation when nothing else has?

But I think they do and you just don't notice.

Just stuff you might call "folk engineering" and is sometimes celebramocked on sites like ThereIFixedIt. But even in everyday life, people bend paperclips to fix air vents, use pens to unjam vending machines, choose just the right books to jam under the edge of the wobbly table, etc.
